....that Liberals get away with.
Today....we use John Kennedy as the illustration of that sort of lie.
1. There is lots of talk of 'fake news,' and it seems to be the stock in trade of the Liberals who control the news media.
Lord Acton explained it this way: "“Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely."
And complete control of the media has led to the corruption and 'fake news' that may very well end our nation.
..... these journalism-oligarchs don't have to lie outright....they simply provide only half of any story....the half that supports their view.
Without both halves of the information, the citizenry cannot make an informed analysis...
.....exactly what the Left requires.
2. Nowhere is that more evident than in the hagiography of Democrat demigod Franklin Roosevelt, where both half-truths and outright lies dominate the discussion.
But another example can be seen in an interview the conservative Larry Elder did with far Left spewer, Chris Matthews, over Matthews' book Jack Kennedy: Elusive Hero.
Matthews paints a glowing image of the 35th President, and when Elder points out just three glaring omissions, well....fireworks ensue.
3. Matthew's first mistake was appearing in territory he couldn't control, the way he does on his show. The tone was set early, and Matthew's wasn't ready to be treated the way he treats his guests. Elder: ‘I’m Sorry For Cutting You Off the Way You Cut Your Guests Off.’
4. Vetting his credentials, Elder asked if Chris feels he is a journalist.... “Yeah, I’m a journalist. I’m a columnist. I’m a commentator.
I’m not down the middle. I’m slightly to the left,” Matthews stated.
“Slightly to the left?” mocked Elder.
“I’d say 40-yard-line.”
To prove how fallacious that description is, Elder played this clip:
“[Republicans] want people that don’t have insurance to die on the gurney in the hospital bed. They want that to happen. …If you’re homeless — foreclosed on, if you have a home, foreclose on the people. If you’re a teacher, fireman or a cop, get rid of the guy!
I mean, this attitude of causing cruel pain on people and getting cheers for it, what’s that about…?”
- Chris Matthews, On his MSNBC show, ‘Hardball’ October 25, 2011
Having established both Matthew's bias, and his bone fides as an historian, Elder opens the discussion of Matthews' beatification of John Kennedy.
And Matthews responds in exactly the way every Liberal does when the truth about one of their heroes is revealed.
It was exciting.....
I'll go over the details of the conversation.
Coming right up.
